About this property

Welcome to Saif ul Malook Hotel & Restaurant

Saif ul Malook Hotel & Restaurant, situated at Saif ul Malook Chowk in the bustling Main Bazar of Naran, offers a welcoming retreat that beautifully balances comfort, local charm, and natural splendor. With a solid 4-star rating, this establishment earns praise for its clean and cozy rooms, which serve as a warm haven after a day of trekking through the crisp mountain air or exploring the nearby majestic Saif ul Malook Lake.

Many visitors rave about the culinary experience at the on-site restaurant. The menu features an array of traditional Pakistani dishes with a particular highlight on the trout, often described as the best in all of Naran. Generous portions and savory flavors make it a favored dining choice, though some international guests may find the servings modest.

Our stay at Saif ul Malook Hotel & Restaurant was an absolute delight! Nestled in the heart of Naran, it offers breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains and the crystal-blue Saif ul Malook Lake just a short drive away. The rooms were clean, cozy, and warm — a perfect retreat after a chilly day of exploring.

Cannot talk about the rooms, we just stopped here for quick lunch. The food was tasty, however, the portion of meat was supposed to be for 2 or 3 people. We had 12 little pieces of chicken in some sauce. For westerners, order a dish per person, we have a bigger appetite I am afraid...

Best place to visit. I went here with my friends. It was a great experience. The people of Naran are very cooperative. The road to Saif-ul-Maluk lake is not good. We cannot take our vehicles there. That is a jeep track. The driving skills of these people are very good so we feel safe. You can take a boat ride on the lake and then go on a horse ride. It is the best place for nature lovers. The scenery here is very beautiful. You can enjoy the nature as well as the coffee available there. You can enjoy the real taste of zafran Qehwa.

Hotel is good nice looking and clean. Food is good though. Only problem is the hot water which is barely available. Also the room where I am right now has a TV but doesn't have a switch to plug it in. Big LOL. Also have some electricity problems. Giving 4 stars only because of nice and clean environment. Edit: The internet was slow.
